ABSTRACT Background In today's world road traffic accident victims is treated as a major epidemic of non-communicable disease. Road traffic accidents caused numerous family tragedies such as serious economic loss to the community and the death of young people. The problem is more severe in low and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, the largest proportion of series injuries comes from road traffic accidents and become major causes of death in the emergency room. Despite this, only a little is known about treatment outcomes of road traffic accident victims and its associated factors in Ethiopia. Method An institution-based Cross-sectional study design was conducted at Wolaita Soddo Christian hospital with a sample of 400 road traffic accidents. The medical record was selected using a systematic sampling method. Data was entered using Epi-data version 4.1 and was exported to and analyzed using SPSS version 23. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association between the independent variables and dependent variables. RESULT The overall death rate was 9.5%. Being out of hospital catchment area [AOR= 2.16, 95% CI= (1.01-4.70)] presence of co-morbid condition [AOR= 6.77 95% CI= (2.44-18.81)] lack of first aid help [AOR= 2.77 95% CI= (1.17-6.52)] and severity of the injury [AOR= 3.85 95% CI= (1.50-9.89)] were found to be significantly associated with outcome of road traffic accident victims. Conclusion The study shows that the death rate from road traffic accidents was high. Therefore, designing strategies to decrease death from road traffic accidents by giving great emphasis to road traffic accident victims with co-morbid conditions and severe injury and focusing on the availability and accessibility of pre-hospital care service.

Background: Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the leading cause of unnatural deaths in the world and a major burden on the world’s economy. The aim was to study the prevalence of road traffic accident among children.Methods: It is a retrospective cross sectional study. Data collected from the hospital records in PICU. Children studied are either admitted directly for road traffic accident or referred to our centre for complicated injuries. children of 1 to 18 years are studied, details of address, locality (either rural, urban) road safety precautions used, mode of injury, type of vehicle, type of injury, number of passengers, complications, outcome of injury are collected and entered in prescribed proforma, and impact of each one is analysed and magnitude is studied. Study period was from June 2014 to June 2016.Results: This study shows that road traffic accident prevalence is more in 15-18 year age group (31%), and males are affected more commonly (79.5%), among these majority of children were from rural area (73%), more common type of injury were complicated injuries (85.1%). Children travelling in 2 wheelers were affected more (74.9%). Results analysed with age of victims and type of injury, p value <0.05 is considered significant.Conclusions: To bring the mortality rate down, children especially with rural background should be made aware about the importance of strict compliance to traffic rules and regulations. Government need to start implementing traffic rules awareness programme among rural people.

Background: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) with the head injury warrants early treatment. The delay in receiving the specialized care adversely affects the outcome. Economic losses due to RTA with the Head Injury amount of Rs 550 crores (12.5 billion dollars), an amount that equals our defense budget. Insurance of vehicles and victims and compensation claims are related legal issues. The Objectives of the study were: 1. To analyze the delay in reaching the hospital following the Road Traffic Accident with Head Injury. 2. To study the pattern of pre-hospital treatment received. 3. To measure the socioeconomic and legal impact of Road Traffic Accident cases with Head Injury.Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in casualty and allied departments of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh. All cases of RTA with Head Injury admitted from August 2010 to July 2011 who were 15-45 years of age were included in the study using purposive sampling. Data was analyzed with SPSS 20.Results: A total of 463 patients were included in the study. Almost two-third of patients i.e. 315 (68.0%) were brought to hospital within 6 hours and the remaining 148 (32.0%) reached hospital after lapse of 6 or more hours. Of all patients who reached hospital before 6 hours, only 70 males and 10 females received some form of pre-hospital treatment. The mean expenditure during hospital stay was Rs.3663.71. About 51.6% of patients had to stay for 1-3 days in hospital following a head injury. As many as three-fourth of vehicles involved in accident were insured while just 14.3% of patients were insured. Only 5 (1.1%) out of the 463 patients applied for compensation till the time of interview.Conclusions: Reaching hospital early has direct bearing on final outcome of accidents. RTAs with Head Injury lead to variable out-of-pocket expenditure for patients and their attendants. Majority of victims do not have insurance, though insurance of vehicles is a common practice.

Background: Underreporting of deaths and injuries resulting from road traffic accidents is a major issue globally. Understanding the extent of underreporting and the causes along with the assessment of quality of data available will help in developing a better system of reporting and accurate estimation of burden and risk factors which aid in developing prevention programmes. Methods: A cross sectional study was done keeping hospital records as a baseline data to which the under reporting in the police records on traffic injuries was measured. The population under study was the total number of accidents that took place in Chandigarh in the month of June-July 2011 and had reported to the emergency department of three major government hospitals. These three hospitals have been selected purposefully as majority of the road traffic accident victims are being admitted/ treated in these hospitals. Results: A total of 537 cases and 375 cases were recorded in police and hospital records respectively for the month of June-July 2011. Only 15% cases from the police records were matched with the hospital records. Among the matched 64% were completely matched and 36% were partially matched cases. None of fatal injuries registered in both the records were among the matched cases. Most of the road traffic accident cases (79.4%) involved males aged 20-49 years. The official records of road accidents have been found to be incomplete in terms of number of accident and information on age, sex, address of the victim, type and severity of injury. Conclusions: A standardised reporting format of all RTIs should be developed and maintained by both the police and hospitals. All hospitals should mandatorily report all RTI cases reported to them to the police to ensure completeness.

Death due to road traffic accident (RTA) was one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in India. In the present cross-sectional study, only the victim using two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and pedestrians were included for comparison to determine the pattern of injuries in these victims of the road traffic accident. There was a predominance of males in all three types of victims of RTA with a peak age of incidence seen in 21-30 years in two-wheeler victims, 41-50 years in four-wheeler victims, and 51-60 years in pedestrian victims. Four-wheeler (HMV/LMV) was the commonest type of offending vehicle involved in all types of victims with collision/ dash as the commonest manner of an accident. Head was the commonest region involved in pedestrian and two-wheeler victims as compared to the thorax in four-wheeler victims of accidents. Abrasion was the commonest surface injury in two-wheeler victims and pedestrians. The laceration was more common in two-wheeler victims as compared to crushed injury in pedestrian victims of road traffic accidents. The brain was the commonest organ involved in two-wheeler and pedestrian as compared to lungs in four-wheeler victims. The liver and spleen were more commonly involved in two-wheeler victims as compared to kidneys and bladder in pedestrian

This article analyses the mortality caused by road accidents in Moldova depending on the degree of involvement of pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, drivers and passengers of transport units, depending on age and sex. Results suggest that traffic-related mortality in Moldova has shown an increased incidence among the young and working-age population, where a significant difference between males and females is observed. Among the youth, traffic-related deaths register between 10-27% of the overall mortality in both sexes. The risk exposure of dying in a traffic accident decreases with age and is less significant in the retired ages. During the years 1998-2015, avoidance of trafficrelated deaths would have assured an increase in life expectancy between 0.40-0.56 years in males, and 0.09-0.23 years in females. The continuous increase in the number of transport units on public roads, as well as in the number of hours spent in traffic, influences the degree of exposure to the risk of death or injury as a result of road traffic accidents. Trauma resulting from road accidents increases the incidence of premature mortality and disability among the population, which is reflected by the decrease of healthy life expectancy. It is ascertained that the road accident mortality requires a detailed and comprehensive analysis given the multitude of factors influencing deaths and injuries related to a traffic accident among the population. Thus, in order to improve road safety and reduce mortality incidence among traffic participants, a range of actions has to be implemented by the liable actors, including through the international experience.

Traffic accidents are one of the biggest causes of death in the world. WHO states that 90% of deaths that caused by traffic accident in the world occur in low and middle income countries. Indonesia is ranked first with the highest percentage of deaths that caused by traffic accident in Asia. Most t raffic accidents involve motorcyclist with an average age of 15–29 years old. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between ownership of driving license and participation in driving license tests with driving k nowledge and t raffic accidents in h igh school students of Xi grade in Kabupaten Sidoarjo in 2017. This research was an observational analytic with cross sectional study design. The population of this study was all senior h igh school students of XI grade in Kabupaten Sidoarjo in 2017. The number of respondents was 204 students that drawn from the population by using two stage cluster random sampling method. Results of analysis using chi square and fisher’s exact test (α = 5%) indicate that the ownership of driving license (p = 0.259; RR 1.533) and participation in driving license test (p = 1.00; RR 0.586) did not have correlation with t raffic accidents in h igh school students of XI grade in Kabupaten Sidoarjo in 2017 and the ownership of driving license (p = 1.00; RR 1.008) and participation in driving license test (p = 1,00; RR 0.983) did not have correlation too with driving k nowledge in h igh school students of XI grades in Kabupaten Sidoarjo in 2017.
